It was a little after 6 o'clock Thursday evening, as families in Johnstown Farms were sitting down for dinner, when two local boys smelled trouble at 492 Heritage Lane.

Cameron Jenkins and Lane Rousselle were playing basketball when they began sensing what they described as burning rubber.

“It smelled like someone was screeching their car tires,” Rousselle said.
